Forgive me if this has been asked before. I am a list newbie...
But, I just took six rolls of Kodachrome 25 to my local camera store, got a
funny look from them and was told it would take 10-14 days to get my film
back. There must be a better way!
Is it better to use PK36 mailers (are these still available) and where
should I mail my film if I do?
Any information on this subject would be appreciated. After my deep freezer
is emptied of Kodachrome I will likely switch to E6 or go digital. I have a
ton of unused K64 120 that I cannot use or get processed but I can't quite
bring myself to throw away.
Oh, I am in San Jose California in the USA.

Nope. A&I shut their K-14 processor down this year. Demand has dried
up and they are down to two processors in the States. There was a
story that they were going to shut down the Fairlawn processor and
contract all the remaining business to the independently owned machine
in Kansas. Don't know if it was real or just smoke.

It's real. Fair Lawn is supposed to shut down in about a week. K-14
will supposedly be forwarded to Dwayne's Photo in Kansas, which now does
all Kodachrome movie film.

Dwyane's is only doing US Kodachrome movie film. The Swiss lab is still
doing processing for Europe.
